Proposed Rule Adoption
EMS Rule
The purpose for the proposed rule is to require the driver of an ambulance to hold a Medical Responder level or higher credential so that this driver will then be capable of not only performing the duties associated with vehicle operations but of having medical training to augment the attendant in the patient compartment of the vehicle.

Proposed Rule Amendments
Nursing Home Rules
In response to Executive Order 70, the purpose for the proposed rule amendments is to simplify and clarify current rule language, update reference names and addresses in rules, update rule authority in history notes, and add web site addresses to rules. In addition, the purpose of the repeal of one rule is that compliance is achieved through Public Records Law (N.C.G.S. Chapter 132), rendering this rule redundant.
